Soy Sauce Grilled Chicken Breasts with Brown Sugar Marinade
This easy soy sauce grilled chicken is quickly flavored with a brown sugar and orange juice marinade for a touch of zesty sweetness that pairs perfectly with the soy sauce flavor.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 pack Chicken Breast
- ¼ cup Brown sugar - packed
- ¼ cup Less Sodium Soy Sauce
- ¼ cup Orange Juice
- 1 to 2 tsp Orange Zest
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Cracked Black Pepper
Instructions
- To make the marinade, grab a small separate bowl and whisk together brown sugar, soy sauce, orange juice, orange zest, olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, and cracked pepper. Whisk together to combine.
- Place chicken breasts in a large ziplock bag and set the bag inside a mixing bowl to sit upright. Pour the marinade over the chicken. Seal and give a gentle squeeze or two to coat the chicken all over with the marinade in the bag.
- Marinade chicken breasts in the large ziplock bag for 30 minutes to an hour, or overnight in the refrigerator, turning and re-coating the meat occasionally.
- If marinating and cooking the same day, marinade at room temperature for optimal flavor, then cook.
- Turn the grill on, pre-heat, and grease your grill grate with a generous layer of non-stick cooking spray, so the marinated chicken does not stick.
- Grill marinated chicken breasts over medium heat for 5 (to 7 ) minutes per side depending on the size and thickness of the chicken breasts. You can also cook through until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached.
- When cook time is up, remove chicken breast from grill and transfer to a serving platter. Cover loosely with a bit of foil and let the chicken breasts rest for another 5 minutes. Slice and serve.
